It is quickly coming to the end of my course, and my mind is spinning trying to prepare a portfolio that is unique, functional, and contains my best work... The daunting task is threatening to take over my mind and, if I am not careful, my sleep.
Issue 1: What to include?
Up to this point, the majority of my work has been prepared for academic purposes which mean the work is mostly generic and displays only a small portion of my skills. It becomes even more frustrating when I think of the best document I ever created is protected by legal privilege; therefore, cannot be used in my portfolio.
Issue 2: What format?
This is only a partial issue. I know I will need both an electronic and a paper version of my portfolio since you never know what will be made available during an interview.
For the electronic version, I am considering two options for general purpose and one for more specific uses. Dropbox’s Public folder and/or a website would be ideal for general usage since both allow the viewer to select and view the various pieces at their leisure, but an executable CD/DVD when going in for an interview because storing the CD/DVD is easier than a USB stick.
